In May, 2013, the Nevada Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, the Cottage Food bill (SB206 PDF), allowing certain foods to be prepared and sold from a person’s home. The law language will be filed under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 446 and is effective July 1, 2013.

A cottage food operation, as allowed by SB206, means a natural person who manufactures or prepares food items in a non-food establishment setting for sale directly to an end consumer. Gross sales from a cottage food operation may not exceed $35,000 annually.
